Pasco County Speedway. I've lived in the Tampa area all my life and have never heard of it. Any idea when it was open and where the track was?

Pasco County Speedway

Pasco County Speedway was on the grounds of the Pasco County Fairgrounds.
I found that out from Rick Martin, one of the real veterans of local auto racing, in the course of a conversation we had at East Bay Raceway Park several weeks back.

They still have racing at the fairgrounds, located on Rt 52 in Dade City, but it is now Motocross.
